The PSNI have launched an investigation - after two gnomes went missing.

Officers in Fermanagh say the garden decorations “have great sentimental value to their owner” and are appealing for people to help track them down.

They posted a picture of one of the gnomes on their Facebook page along with a brief statement.

Officers say the two gnomes were stolen from a garden on the Sligo Road area of Enniskillen between Friday evening and 1pm on Saturday.

The other missing gnome

Describing the pair, the police added: “These gnomes are about 3 ft in height are painted in bright colours and have great sentimental value to their owner. One is painted in blue and red and the other is painted yellow and green. One has ‘Rudai’ written on it and both have ‘Ges Gesch’ written on the bottom of it.

“Police would like these gnomes to be returned to their owner as soon as possible. If you know where they are or saw who took them could you contact Police on 101 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”

In their statement they added that they “have been reliably informed that who ever has taken them will have nothing but bad luck until they are returned”.
